I hate to keep looking backward in these bloggish essays. But until this undulating personal history morphs into starting-blocks for an effective sprint into the next level of competence, well, it looks like I'm stuck with it. So, on with some lessons of recent experiences.

Time spent on the post-production tricky things, adjusting light values and tweaking the tint where it may help, stretched the time for emphasis where wanted. Sat back to enjoy (!) the in-progress artifact, and a voice-over script began to suggest itself. Write, re-write, re-rewrite and so forth.
